Well I’ll tell you what I’m doing about my issue for now. I decided to go to the local dealer to see what they would say about the current draw. They said if wanted to put a battery disconnect on the car it wouldn’t hurt anything. They also said, for 160 bucks they would diagnose it if I...

Well there are some YouTube videos on replacing the modules which don’t seem to be for the faint of heart, “scary”! What I’ve decided to do for now is install a battery disconnect so that after a ride I can disconnect the battery easily without using tools. There’s even a remote one on the...

I hope someone can steer me in the right direction for a parasitic draw that I have had for several years. I finally spent enough time isolating why my battery keeps running down by eliminating the suspects responsible for this. So, two circuits were found to be causing 90 M a of power to run...

Okay thank you. Appreciate the replies!

Basically when I turn on cabin heat, setting on floor position, the compressor engages and appears as though the coil freezes and water drains to the ground. It only happens on floor setting. Is this normal?

Okay boss! Thank you and everyone for all the advice.

Hey thanks! So I shouldn’t just keep it on the trickle charger?

So, over the last couple days I’ve recorded voltage loss: Friday 5pm 13.11 volts fully charged Saturday 6am 12.73 Saturday 9:30 pm 12.67 Sunday 6:30 am 12.66. Weird only1 mV less in 12 hrs

Funny you mention the AC clutch. The clutch has been making noise periodically for a few years. I’ll try to find that relay and check somehow. Thanks

The battery is about 2 years old. It is a generic Korean battery. I’ve been buying batteries from a discount dealer in my locality for 30 years. This battery is a 34-72. 770 CCA. I am using a black and decker trickle charger and also a battery tender jr. With everything off and when I prob...

Okay thanks. I’ll look at it. I was thinking maybe there is a likely culprit that keeps showing up over the years on this site. Maybe not! I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’m having to keep my, tested good, battery on a trickle charger for the past year or so since the battery has been losing voltage over a couple of weeks while sitting. I suspect a parasitic draw but don’t know where to begin. The only other thing wrong with the car is the key won’t withdraw...
